Export to Different Format or Fax

[Narayanan]

Hi,

My name is Narayanan Sankaranarayanan.

First let me tell you what I have developed and then ask my questions to you
experts.

We are letting our legal department design the contracts (as they vary
between products and there are lot of contracts) using infopath and our
pre-defined datasource. After desigining the form they upload the form to our
custom .Net application. Once the document is uploaded the custom .Net
application merges the data with the uploaded template and exports it to an
MHT file (The merging happens on the server side).

Right now we are displaying the MHT file to the user in IE.

Here are my questions.
.. Can I export the generated MHT file to other formats like PDF, JPG, GIF,
etc. I am not looking to export the data into excel as we need this to look
like pre-printed forms.

.. If I can't export, can I directly fax the generated MHT file from the
server-side.

Experts, please help me out.

Even pointers are greatly apprecitated.

Thanks

Narayanan

I already know about the printing and faxing solutions.
Thanks for telling me anyway.

Not sure I explained you everything. I am using InfoPath automation.
The COM objects provides only one method named PrintOut that just prints
only to a default printer.

Even if I have a PDF driver installed, the printout method should provide a
method to save it as a PDF file.

Not sure how to connect those dots.

Thanks
